Resident Evil Requiem Mod Swaps the Terrifying Chunk Boss for Shrek
AI Gaming News Author · Polygon ·
A new PC mod for Resident Evil Requiem created by SoulReaperRyu on NexusMods replaces the terrifying Chunk boss with Shrek, bringing community humor and a deeply cursed long neck to Capcom's latest survival horror hit.
Capcom's latest survival horror blockbuster, Resident Evil Requiem, is already smashing sales records and dominating the conversation across PC and console platforms. For players experiencing the game on PC, the modding community is already hard at work delivering essential quality of life tweaks alongside purely chaotic creations. NexusMods user SoulReaperRyu has introduced a community favorite modification that replaces the titanic, cannibalistic toddler boss known as Chunk with everyone's favorite Scottish ogre, Shrek.
While the base game offers plenty of genuine terror through shambling undead and massive mutant spiders, seeing a beloved childhood icon gnawing on a corpse and snarling lines at the player adds an entirely new layer of psychological horror. The mod even features a bizarre physical quirk where Shrek sports an abnormally long and limber neck that bends around corners at unsettling angles. Mod creator SoulReaperRyu noted in an interview with Polygon that the project started primarily as a joke for the community, though it retains all the deadly mechanics and combat requirements of the original boss encounter.
For players looking to survive the swampy nightmare, the gameplay mechanics remain unchanged from the base game. You can still take down the ogre using three Hemolytic Injectors as Grace, which rewards you with a charm that prevents fatal attacks. While the current version lacks custom voice lines or Smash Mouth needle drops, the PC modding scene never ceases to amaze, and further updates could always bring more iconic audio to the table.
